The Minoan eruption of Santorini was a large-magnitude natural event. However, in terms of scale it ranks smaller in erupted volume and eruptive intensity than the historical eruption of Tambora in 1815 AD, and smaller in sulphur emission and, by inference, climatic effects than both the Tambora and Mt. Pinatubo, 1991, eruptions.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For the band, see Linea Aspera (band) . The linea aspera (Latin: rough line) is a ridge of roughened surface on the posterior surface of the femur, to which are attached muscles and intermuscular septum.Its margins diverge above and below. number of muscles attach to the linea aspera: 1  From the medial lip of the linea aspera and its prolongations above and below, the vastus medialis originates. 2  From the lateral lip and its upward prolongation, the vastus lateralis takes origin.
At the end of these muscles are tendons, which are tough, fibrous tissues that connect your muscles to your bones. Most of these muscles and tendons attach your pubic bone (lower part of the pelvis) to your thigh bone (femur); however the gracilis muscle attaches to the lower leg bone (tibia) not the femur.he hip adductor muscle s help to bring your legs together and rotate your hip inwards towards the midline of your body. The short adductors include the pectineus, adductor brevis, and adductor longus, and the long adductors include the adductor magnus and gracilis.
